Chapter 312: Meng Qiaofang's predicament
Those who dare to laugh at Dolgon's "foolishness" in person, in the whole world, except for Duoduo, there is no one else.
Dolgon, however, did not mean to be angry at all, but sat up straight, and asked with a cheerful expression, "Oh? Can the tenth brother solve my doubts? ”
Duoduo gasped for a while, talking too much, it was a little difficult for his current body, and only after half a sound did he respond: "Brother do you think, the three kings of Geng, Kong, and Shang have already taken refuge in the Qing Dynasty before we entered the customs, and they have made a white horse oath with us, and they have been named the king of Sanshun by Emperor Ama for more than ten years, and they have been loyal for many years, and they have no ambitions, and if you want to say that the three of them want to rebel, I don't believe it." ”
He paused, breathed out again, and then said slowly: "Besides, there is a different hatred between them and the Ming Court, except for our Qing Dynasty, who else in the world can tolerate them?" If you betray us, you can only fall into the grass and become bandits, why bother to come? That's why I said, these three kings are fundamentally different from Li Chengdong and Jiang Jiu, and Brother Da can use them with confidence, the Han army in their hands is numerous, which can solve the problem of insufficient people in my Eight Banners, and the Wuzhen Chaoha, where the Hongyi cannon is located, is composed of the Han army, and without them, I don't know how many Eight Banners athletes will have to lose to play a similar role. ”
He spoke these words almost one sentence at a time, rather slowly, and the short passage took a long time, but Dorgon was not impatient, and listened very attentively, with a focused expression.
He had always attached great importance to Dordor's opinions, and this brother was not only loyal to him, but also very intelligent, resourceful, and very unique in his view of problems, and could often fill in the gaps in Dorgon's thoughts, and discover the blind spots in his thoughts, in a word.
So after pondering for a while, Dolgon nodded slowly and said, "You are right, the three kings are worth using, even if they can't extinguish the arrogance of the traitors, at least they can stabilize the situation and buy us time, just do as you say." ”
With that, the room fell silent, Dorgon gasping for breath, and Dorgon looking down on his thoughts.
"Brother, how's Hauge's matter?" Dodor broke the silence and asked softly.
"I locked him up, stripped him of his title, equated him with a commoner, and imprisoned him after being condemned." Dolgon raised his head, his face was solemn, and said with a murderous aura: "That Suller of yours is doing a good job, and he has fabricated a lot of accusations against Hauge, otherwise it will take some effort to bring him down." ”
"As soon as Hauge is gone, Brother's position will be more stable." Duoduo smiled and said, "The two old foxes, Daishan and Zilharang, didn't have any moths, right?" ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Dolgon's mouth, cruel and cunning: "The good deeds are about to die, where can I take care of anything?" His sons, Yue Tuo, died early, and none of them came into force except for Mandahai, which had already been attached to us, so there was nothing to worry about; Jilharang, an old fox, wanted to opportunistically ride the wall, and was warned by me first, and then restored his position as a prince, much more honest, and couldn't set off the wind and waves, but just in case, I was going to let him lead the troops into Huguang, let him out for a while, and then let him come back when everything was in order. ”
He turned his face to look at Duoduo, his face softened, and he smiled: "When everything falls into place, it will be the time when you and my brother will ascend to the great treasure, so tenth brother, you must get better, without your assistance, we would not be where we are today." ”
There was not a trace of blood on Dorgon's pale face, and his spirit was very poor, and listening to Dorgon's uplifting words, only a little light radiated from his eyes, and it soon dimmed.
"Brother Chen, I wish Brother a smooth sail and get what he wants." He also smiled and said: "Whether I can see that day or not, Brother Jiu will always be my Brother Jiu, and I hope that our mother and Huang Ama can be proud of you." ”
……
Meng Qiaofang's mood was as bad as the weather on the Loess Plateau in August, which was extremely hot.
He was so angry that he hadn't slept in days.
This phenomenon began from the beginning of Jiang Jiu's rebellion.
Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, from Baoji in the west, to Tongguan in the east, to the west can control Hanzhong, peep into Xishu, to the east can guard Tongguan, look at the Central Plains, the terrain is complex, the location is dangerous, plus the land is fertile, the resources are sufficient, it has always been an excellent place for the soldiers to start an incident, Li Zicheng set the capital of Xi'an, it is not unreasonable.
So when Wang Huan occupied Hanzhong and opened up Longxi, although Meng Qiaofang was a little worried, he was not very anxious, because the Qinling Mountains were dangerous, which made him very confident.
Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan six times and didn't do anything until he died of illness, can Wang Huan do it? Meng Qiaofang thinks that this is impossible, from Hanzhong to Qin, there are only a few plank roads, Meridian Valley, Xiegu and Longguan Road are extremely dangerous existences, and you can block the enemy who comes by holding the pass.
Of course, unless Wang Huan takes the Xiaoguan Road, goes to the ancient Silk Road, goes around a big bend and goes on an expedition, and comes from the direction of Wuwei, but it is such a long way, and when the Ming army comes over, he is already tired like a dog.
However, Shanxi has changed, which makes him a little anxious.
Between Shanxi and the Ming court in Guangdong, separated by countless mountain passes, it is impossible to connect, and if you want to get the support of the Ming army, there is only one way in Hanzhong.
Between Datong and Hanzhong in Shanxi, Shaanxi is separated.
If Jiang Hao goes south all the way along the eastern edge of Luliang Mountain and goes straight to Henan, he can kill to the edge of Tongguan, whether it is to attack Tongguan in a hurry or cross the Yellow River in Pujin, it is Meng Qiaofang's dead dream.
Because as long as you do that, there will be no danger to defend in the Guanzhong Plain.
In Meng Qiaofang's hands, there are only nearly 30,000 Han troops, and there are some local townships in various states and counties, and there are dispensable existences, and in addition, there are no usable soldiers.
As for foreign aid, Huguang is now exhausted to deal with the attacks of He Tengjiao and Du Yinxi, and he is still counting on him to support a little man, and in the direction of Henan, the new governor of the three provinces of Henan and Shandong, Zhang Cunren, has just taken office, and his governor's mansion is besieged by the rebels of the uprising.
So Meng Qiaofang counted it on his fingers, and sadly found that there was nothing to do except save himself.
Originally, the east was a large rear, and Tongguan sent a partial general, and a few hundred guards could be worry-free, but now they must be heavily armed.
Fortunately, judging from the news he got, Taiyuan was still in the hands of Zhu Shichang of the Qing court, and Jiang Hao would not be able to come for a while, but when he thought of the 100,000 horses under Jiang Hao's command, Meng Qiaofang's heart jumped "suddenly".
Can Taiyuan hold on?
Why hasn't the Regent's reinforcements come yet?
What should Shaanxi do?
Meng Qiaofang's head is big!
